South America’s sludge-thrash torchbearers, CULTURA TRES fuse raw metallic force with the deep soul of Latin American heritage—crafting a sound as weighty as it is emotionally resonant.

​

Formed through the shared roots of Colombia, Brazil, and Venezuela, CULTURA TRES is a genre-defying force in heavy music. Their signature style weaves together sludge, thrash, grunge, and traditional Latin textures into a dark, immersive sonic landscape. At the heart of the band is legendary Sepultura bassist Paulo Xisto Pinto Jr., alongside Colombian-Venezuelan brothers Alejandro Londoño Montoya (vocals/guitar), Juanma de Ferrari Montoya (guitar), and powerhouse drummer Henrique Pucci.

​

After years of honing their voice through gritty, independent releases, CULTURA TRES broke through with Camino de Brujos (2023, Universal Music)—a brooding, critically acclaimed album that established their global presence across Europe, Latin America, and Japan. Known for its haunting atmosphere and emotionally raw delivery, the record marked a defining chapter in the band’s evolution.

​

CULTURA TRES has since taken their visceral live energy to the world’s stages, performing at major festivals such as Bloodstock Open Air (UK) and Summer Breeze Open Air (Brazil)—further cementing their place among metal’s most compelling international acts.

​

In 2025, the group expanded their creative horizons with the release of “Cien,” a groundbreaking collaboration with global Latin icon JUANES. The track is a bold fusion of folklore, metal, and activism, capturing the band’s unrelenting drive to push boundaries.

​

What sets CULTURA TRES apart isn’t just their sonic power—it’s their depth. Drawing from the lived realities of South America, their music explores themes like spiritual conflict, environmental collapse, and social unrest with unflinching honesty.

​

For those seeking heavy music with authenticity, vision, and heart, CULTURA TRES isn’t just a band—they’re a revelation.
